"Uncle, I want to participate in this competition."

Ting'er looked straight at Xu Qingfan and said softly.

Although Ting'er rarely said something to Xu Qingfan this time, Xu Qingfan was only surprised and not happy.

Although the elders of Jiuhua now know Ting'er's existence and ability to prevent it, Xu Qingfan even explained the reason for Ting'er's change to Zhang Hualing. Therefore, when Ting'er participated in the inside competition, the elders would never treat Ting'er as a "reverse evil fellow" for Xu Qingfan's sake, at least they would not show their faces.

But Xu Qingfan still didn't want Ting'er to participate in Jiuhua's inner-sect competition.

It’s not that I’m worried that Ting’er’s cultivation will be poor. You know, although Ting’er is only in the middle stage of Lingji, and among the disciples who participated in the newcomer competition this time, although she is not the best, she is absolutely outstanding. What’s more, the black magic fire that Ting’er cultivates is extremely powerful, and it is slightly better than Xu Qingfan’s dead aura. Xu Qingfan believes that as long as the disciples participating in the competition this time are not as good as Feng Qingtian, Ting’er has a great chance of winning the championship in one fell swoop.

But it is precisely because the magic fire that Ting'er cultivated is more powerful than domineering that Xu Qingfan hesitated about Ting'er participating in the inner competition, and even a little scared, afraid of what harm this inner competition will cause to Ting'er.

This kind of damage is naturally not to be injured in the competition arena. As far as Xu Qingfan knows, among the disciples below the Jiuhua Killing Dan stage, there are very few who can hurt Ting'er. What Xu Qingfan is worried about is that because Ting'er's black magic fire is too domineering, there are probably few disciples in Jiuhua Mountain who can be Ting'er's three-combination enemy. In addition, the strange black flame pattern on Ting'er's face, as long as Ting'er takes action, it will inevitably cause panic among the low-level disciples of Jiuhua. And once Ting'er sees this panic, it is unimaginable what effect and damage will be caused by Ting'er. It can be expected that once Ting'er sees everyone fearing her, she may fall into a loneliness again, and her personality has gradually improved. This is something Xu Qingfan absolutely does not want to see.

Although Ting'er has been practicing immortality with Xu Qingfan for fifty years, and although Ting'er's strength is invincible among the Lingji cultivators, in Xu Qingfan's opinion, no matter how Ting'er changes, she is the helpless and thin little girl who stood quietly next to the body of rest fifty years ago and gently called "Dad" to "Dad". So she always subconsciously avoids Ting'er getting along with outsiders, just because she is afraid that Ting'er will be hurt.

So when Ting'er asked to participate in the inside competition, Xu Qingfan subconsciously wanted to object.

But when Xu Qingfan saw Ting'er's eyes, he couldn't help but be stunned. In Ting'er's cold eyes, an extremely complex emotion rarely appeared, that was persistence and desire.

In just a moment, Xu Qingfan understood Ting'er's thoughts at this time. Even Ting'er himself didn't understand.

The reason why Ting'er wanted to participate in the inner competition this time was not only to try to prove her strength with her fellow disciples, but I'm afraid the bigger reason was that Ting'er wanted to walk out of Xu Qingfan's cave, so she could have contact with people outside the cave?

Over the years, especially after Liu Huaxiang passed away, Ting'er and Xu Qingfan returned to the cave in the back mountain. They lived there for thirty years. During this period, Xu Qingfan spent most of his time practicing, and the only place where he could accompany Ting'er was Xiaobi, a monster who didn't understand the hearts and couldn't speak. In the long run, I think even a person like Ting'er, who is born with an introverted personality, would yearn for the scenes of people coming and going?

It’s just that this yearning is just hidden in the deepest part of Ting'er’s heart. I think even Ting'er herself doesn’t feel it?

Before meeting Xu Qingfan, although Ting'er was still introverted, there were countless barbarians around her as a companion. After Xu Qingfan brought Ting'er to Jiuhua Mountain, in addition to teaching Ting'er to cultivate immortality, he also accidentally isolated Ting'er from the outside world, bringing endless loneliness to Ting'er?

"I have always wanted to change Ting'er's silent and introverted personality, but there has not made much progress. Perhaps the biggest reason is not Ting'er's stubbornness, but that I have protected Ting'er too tightly? Or let her have more contact with the outside world, will her change be better?"

Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, you can participate in this sect competition. However, although I believe in your control over Taoism, I still have to give you a reminder. Your black magic fire is too powerful. If you are not careful, you will hurt people. So try to avoid it. Also, if possible. I hope you should try not to exert your advantages too obviously in the competition and leave some face for others. Is it OK?"

Hearing Xu Qingfan's agreement, a hint of joy flashed in the depths of Ting'er's eyes, then nodded slightly to indicate that she knew.

Seeing Ting'er like this, Xu Qingfan sighed slightly in his heart, then pointed at Ting'er with his hand, and saw that the space around Ting'er's face suddenly twisted slightly, and then it instantly returned to normal. Looking at Ting'er's face at this time, the terrifying and evil black flames that were originally covered with their faces suddenly disappeared, making Ting'er's skin look even whiter and cleaner. Looking closely, it makes people feel a sense of indifference that they can't breathe.

This does not mean that Xu Qingfan could actually remove the black flame pattern on Ting'er's face, but it was just a small illusion. However, Xu Qingfan had already had the middle stage of the virtual pill at this time. As long as the cultivator who was below the Killing Pill stage could not realize the illusion used by Xu Qingfan.

After doing all this, Xu Qingfan smiled and said, "This illusion can be maintained for about a month. Don't remove her. Do you understand?"

Ting'er nodded slightly and said softly: "I understand."

Xu Qingfan said again: "Today there are about ten days left before the competition. You can go back and prepare well. As for the competition, I will arrange it for you."

Ting'er nodded, and didn't say anything more, just took Xiaobi back to the house.

"Ting'er, I hope my decision will not cause any harm to you. I hope this competition in the door will be helpful to you."

Looking at Ting'er's petite back, Xu Qingfan sighed in his heart. Thinking of it.

As long as Ting'er did not show her strength, Xu Qingfan used illusion to block the black flame pattern on Ting'er's face. Logically speaking, even if Ting'er participated in the inside competition, there shouldn't be any accidents, but Xu Qingfan still felt a little uneasy in his heart at this moment.

Suddenly, Xu Qingfan laughed at himself, shook his head, and thought: "What am I worried about? Ting'er is no longer a child. She should have experienced everything. Everything is considered comprehensive for her, which is not good for her future growth. If Uncle Liu is still here, I would probably scold my mother-in-law and mother again when I see me like this, right?"

While making fun of himself, Xu Qingfan also turned around and returned to the house and continued to practice.

It seemed like just a moment, ten days passed in a blink of an eye. According to Zhang Hualing's announcement that the sect's competition was going on as usual, it was a whole year.

On this day, Xu Qingfan finished his meditation earlier than ever, standing quietly in the courtyard, looking up at Xingyue, who had not completely disappeared, and his mind seemed to have returned to sixty years ago. At that time, he and his senior brother Yue Qingru were also preparing to participate in the inner competition like Ting'er now. The tension and uneasiness of the past were still vivid in his mind. It seemed that he was born yesterday, but in a blink of an eye, a Jiazi had passed. The ignorant boy of the year stared at the elders on the main stage with admiration. He always felt that he would never reach that height. But after a Jiazi passed, the young man was already the fourth person in Jiuhua Mountain, responsible for all the affairs of the inner competition.

To put it in a very cliché, it is "Recalling the past experiences, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion." Although it is cliché, it is appropriate to describe Xu Qingfan's current state.

The disciples who participated in the sect competition with Xu Qingfan, and even the Jiuhua disciples who were rivals with Xu Qingfan, such as Feng Qingtian, Jin Qinghan, Lu Qingshang, Dongfang Qingling, Li Yuhan, and Sheng Yushan, all of them reached the level of Killing Pills. They became elders of Jiuhua Mountain, but they didn't know if they would feel the same as Xu Qingfan when they recalled it now?

Recalling the past, success, failure, joy and sorrow, Xu Qingfan suddenly felt like time was staggering. He couldn't tell whether he was in the past or the present for a while. In this memory, the sky was white and the stars and moon disappeared. "A creaking, a sound of pushing the door suddenly came from behind Xu Qingfan.

Xu Qingfan turned around and saw that Ting'er pushed the door out of the room.

Xu Qingfan smiled at Ting'er and asked, "Ting'er, are you ready?"

After seeing Ting'er nodding, Xu Qingfan smiled and said, "Then let's go."

While talking, auspicious clouds suddenly rose under Xu Qingfan's feet, and he flew towards the Hualing Hall in front of the mountain. Ting'er also commanded the "Wanliyun" and followed closely behind. The two of them were extremely fast and disappeared in the back mountain of Jiuhua in a short while.

In Xu Qingfan's view, the significance of this sect competition is not only in selecting outstanding disciples and increasing the combat experience of a group of disciples, but also in fact it has more important significance. That is to boost the morale of all the monks in Jiuhua Mountain.

Since the Zhou Huahai Rebellion and Zhang Xusheng's attack fifty years ago, the vitality of Jiuhua Mountain has been severely damaged, and the disciples and even the elders in the sect have also been depressed. For more than ten years before the closing of the mountains in Jiuhua Mountain, every disciple seemed to feel idle, and even the scenery of the destroyed houses in Jiuhua was not repaired, which was lifeless.

Now that the competition in the inner sect begins, looking at the square in front of Hualing Hall in front of Jiuhua Mountain, it seems that the fun of the past has returned to its previous life. Whether there are any disciples of Jiuhua who signed up for the competition in the inner sect, they are gathered in this time, laughing and talking, arguing about who wins and who will lose among the disciples participating in the competition, and who will eventually win. Although everyone has their own candidates and no one seems to convince anyone, the disciples are still interested in this debate.

In addition, the scenery of Jiuhua at this time has returned to its former immortal scenery, so at a rough look, it seems that Jiuhua Mountain has recovered its prosperity sixty years ago.

In this lively scene, Xu Qingfan and Ting'er came to Jiuhua Qianshan Square.

After the two of them fell to the ground, everyone around them looked at them, to be precise, they were staring at Ting'er.

After the dark flame patterns on her face were covered by Xu Qingfan, Ting'er was a peerless beauty who was fascinating. Although she was less tempting and stunning, she was more quiet and pure. So when she saw Ting'er, everyone couldn't help but ignore Xu Qingfan beside her, and just stared at Ting'er for a while. Some male disciples with a little less concentration even looked at Ting'er without blinking, and their expression became dull.

After a long time, everyone saw that the peerless beauty was actually Xu Qingfan, the deacon elder of Jiuhua Mountain. They were all embarrassed and bowed to Xu Qingfan, with their heads hanging down and their faces were ashamed. But the corners of their eyes still couldn't help but secretly look at Ting'er, making Xu Qingfan smile bitterly.

Seeing Ting'er seemingly confused by the many gazes, with a little anger in her eyes, Xu Qingfan patted Ting'er's shoulder pity and said softly: "You are here waiting for the competition to begin. Uncle is going to go to the main stage."

Seeing a trace of at a loss flashing in Ting'er's eyes, Xu Qingfan felt a little unbearable, but thinking about the decision to let Ting'er face these decisions that changed her personality alone, he suppressed the pity in his heart, but he couldn't help saying, "If possible, make more friends."

After saying that, Xu Qingfan never looked at Ting'er again. Yu Yun was about to fly towards the main platform, but as soon as his body flew, he couldn't help but say to Ting'er again: "Those guys who just watched you drool just now, even if they took the initiative to chat, ignore them. Do you understand?"

After seeing Ting'er nodding, Xu Qingfan left with confidence.
